What were the reasons, that it wasn't Windows?

According to them, it's just not user friendly - maybe, we're used to Windows!

When I asked why did they buy it in the first place, their answers are quite similar, something like this:

"It looks good (appearance) and it's expensive - so it must be good!"

So I was basically right in that it wasn't Windows. They had done things a certain way for so long and weren't prepared to put the effort in to learn something new.
When you stop learning you might as well stop living.:D

Exactly, osx was pretty easy for me to pick up. Just don't treat it like windows. I now know osx better then windows but still try and keep my hands in both

1205430 2011-05-31 09:31:00 I was a Windows user for years and now use both out of necessity. Yes OSX takes some getting used to after using Windows for so long. When working on both platforms I have thought why this is so hard when it is simple on the other platform – swings and roundabouts with both.

Windows is still my preferred OS though.
